Child Suicide Prevention Act aims to reduce youth suicide rates through health care education and training.
The Child Suicide Prevention Act authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services to award grants to eligible entities to implement evidence-aligned practices in health care settings to reduce suicide rates among individuals under 26. The bill defines "covered individuals" as those under 26 years of age and includes risk factors such as alcohol abuse, abuse, psychiatric conditions, and LGBTQ+ status. The act also mandates the development of a website with best practices for suicide prevention and firearm safety, and requires annual reports from grantees.
